PokerStars TCOOP 2-Day Roundup

Despite there being rather a lot of live action being played out or approaching in the EPT Deauville and the forthcoming Aussie Millions, online players too have been seeing plenty of action over the past few days.

The PokerStars Turbo Championship Of Online Poker has been going on for a couple of days now and has thus far brought us 8 results from the 50 events that have been scheduled. Take a look below as we give you a brief rundown of how they finished up.

Event #1 – $27 No Limit Holdem 6 – Max $750k Guarantee

The first event of a series like this usually sets the tone for the rest that follow and this one certainly did that. It brought in a staggering 25,590 players and took only five and a half hours to complete. By the time we reached the final five the players did what we expect to see a lot in this series and that is make a deal.

It was “sting_AC” that took the remaining $15k left to play for after he took down “venced0r” heads up to take home the first title of the series.
